Xiaomi Mi 10T, Mi 10T Pro launched starting Rs 35,999: Price, specs and availability

Xiaomi has launched its second flagship smartphone lineup in India. After the Mi 10, it’s now time for the Mi 10T and the Mi 10T Pro. The T in the name stands for Technology, and both of these are flagship smartphones with the Snapdragon 865 on board, and the key highlight on them is the 144Hz display. The Mi 10T series was globally announced some time back in September, and this is only the second flagship lineup from Xiaomi to come to India this year. What do these smartphones bring to the table? Let’s find out —

Xiaomi Mi 10T, Mi 10T Pro prices, offers and availability

The Xiaomi Mi 10T is priced at Rs 35,999 for the base variant with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, while the 8GB RAM variant is priced at Rs 37,999. The Mi 10T Pro with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at Rs 39,999. Both of them will be available in Cosmic Black and Lunar Silver colour variants.

Both the Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro can be pre-ordered from today, i.e. October 15 from 12PM, and the phones will be available on Mi.com, Flipkart, Mi Home, Mi Stores, Mi Studio and other offline retail stores. The phone is expected to go on its first sale during the Flipkart Big Billion Day sale, where you can choose from a host of offers that includes cashbacks and exchange offers, as well as no-cost EMI.

Looking at the prices, the Mi 10T series is priced significantly lower than the Mi 10 that launched earlier this year. Then again, there are some crucial differences in the hardware that perhaps allowed Xiaomi to price this a lot more competitively.

Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro specs and features

Both the Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC and supports 5G and run on MIUI 12 out of the box. Both of them have a 6.67-inch FHD+ LCD display with 144Hz refresh rate along with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both sides and a punch-hole selfie camera. The new smartphones rely on Xiaomi’s AdaptiveSync technology that contextually cycles the refresh rate of the display  based on what’s playing on the screen. So while the UI and supported apps will run at peak 144Hz, the refresh rate will go down when a playing a game that can only hit 60FPS, or while watching a movie at 24FPS. There’s also MEMC technology that inserts additional frames in the video you are watching to give them that soap-opera treatment and make scenes appear a lot smoother.

As mentioned, both these smartphones run on the flagship Snapdragon 865, and rely on up to 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB UFS 3.1 storage. Instead of an in-display fingerprint sensor, there’s a side-mounted offering, which is likely due to the display being switched from an AMOLED panel to an LCD display.

As for the optics, there’s the same 108MP camera on the Mi 10T Pro, while the regular Mi 10T gets a 64MP primary camera. Otherwise, both phones sport a 13MP ultrawide lens and a 5MP macro camera. On the front is a 20MP selfie shooter drilled into the display, while the battery capacities are raised to 5,000mAh with 33W fast charging support. No wireless charging is available on this one.

Mi 10T series: Alternatives and rivals

The Mi 10T series becomes the latest incumbents to use the flagship Snapdragon chipset bringing 5G support. The Mi 10 (review) remains the flagship offering from Xiaomi this year with a curved AMOLED display and fast wireless charging. But that’s still a lot more expensive with no price cuts expected any time soon. Interestingly, the Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro will have to fight it out with the likes of the iQOO 3 5G, the Realme X50 Pro as Android flagships while the iPhone SE (2020), and the Google Pixel 4a are the popular options that are expected to remain quite popular during the upcoming festival sales.

We will be testing the Mi 10T series in-depth soon as it lands in our lab. Stay tuned for more info on these devices.

Apple quietly discontinues iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max after iPhone 12 launch

With the iPhone 12 series taking center stage after having launched on October 13, Apple is retiring last year’s Pro and Pro Max models. The iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, are the latest iPhones and Apple will be discontinuing the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, even as it reduced the prices of the iPhone 11, iPhone XR, and the iPhone SE.

The flagship models from last year came with a triple camera setup and the A13 Bionic SoC. However, both smartphones have now vanished from the official Apple website, even in India where Apple usually continues selling older models to keep things a little more affordable.

Interestingly, while Apple has kept the price of the iPhone 12 and the 12 Pro Max same as before in the US, the Indian market saw a big spike of Rs 20,000 in the price segment for this year’s iPhone 12 Pro and the 12 Pro Max. With the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max discontinued, getting a top-of-the-line iPhone just got a little more expensive.

Nevertheless, even though Apple has officially discontinued the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max, you can still buy it off other retail stores. Both the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max will be on discount during the upcoming festival sales on Amazon and Flipkart.

Presently, the iPhone 11 Pro is priced at Rs 96,900 for the 64GB variant on Amazon while the 11 Pro starts at Rs 99,100. On Flipkart, the iPhone 11 Pro is being sold at a slightly higher price at Rs 1,06,600 while the Pro Max is selling at Rs 1,17,100.

Sony X90H starts receiving HDMI 21 update, adds Apple TV Plus app

The Sony X90H is marketed as Sony’s ready for PS5 TV and this is because the TV brings with it support for HDMI 2.1. The TV was said to receive a firmware update enabling HDMI 2.1 functionality but only in two of the four HDMI ports - HDMI 3 (which is also the ARC port) and HDMI 4. The update has now started rolling out. 

It looks like the Sony X90H is also getting a native app for Apple TV. The app isn't available via the Play Store but rather, appears in the TVs app library once the TV is updated. According to 9to5Google, “Notably, the app won’t be available through the Play Store, but only through that full system update. It seems likely that, at some point in the future, the app will be moved to the Play Store for updates, but there’s no confirmation of that just yet”.

We recently reviewed the Sony X90H and during our time with the TV we didn’t get the update. You can check out our review of the TV here. As for Apple TV, we were able to AirPlay Apple TV+ content onto the TV via an iPhone but the fact that there will now be a dedicated app makes consuming content a lot easier. Which other Sony TVs receive the update bringing the Apple TV+ app remains to be seen. 

In early 2020, the Apple TV+ app made its way to 2019 and some 2018 LG TVs and you can check if your TV is on the list here. 

It is also that time of the year when most electronics go on sale and if you are in the market for a new TV, you can check out our list of the best 55-inch TVs here.
